Ingredients

• 200 grams prawns, raw and peeled
• 20 pieces wonton wrappers
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons spring onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon ginger, finely grated
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoon white pepper
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 cups water

Directions

Step 1

Chop the prawns into small pieces, almost like a mince consistency.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine chopped prawns, soy sauce, spring onion, grated ginger, sesame oil, cornstarch, and white pepper. Mix well to combine all flavors thoroughly.

Step 3

Lay out a wonton wrapper on a flat surface and place about 1 teaspoon of the prawn mixture in the center.

Step 4

Use your finger or a small brush to dab a little of the beaten egg along the edges of the wrapper to act as glue.

Step 5

Fold the wonton wrapper over the filling to create a triangle shape, pressing out any air and sealing the edges firmly along the sides.

Step 6

Bring the two base corners of the triangle together, dampen one with a touch of egg, and press to seal, forming a traditional wonton shape.

Step 7

Repeat the filling and sealing process with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.

Step 8

To cook, bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan.

Step 9

Gently place the wontons in the boiling water. They should cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the top and are fully cooked through.

Step 10

Remove the wontons with a slotted spoon and serve hot with dipping sauce of choice.
